1) Create one table in MySql

2) Include required jars

3) Include hibernate.cfg.xml in classpath as follow

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC
"-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD//EN"
"http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">

<hibernate-configuration>
<session-factory>

<property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class">com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</property>
<property
name="hibernate.connection.url">jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/hibernate</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.username">tplanet_test</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.password">password</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.pool_size">10</property>
<property name="show_sql">true</property>
<property name="dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect</property>
<property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">update</property>
<!-- Mapping files -->
<mapping resource="contact.hbm.xml"/>
</session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>

4) Create a mapped java class for table

package net.tryHibernate;

import java.util.Date;

public class Contact {

private String firstName;
private String lastName;
private String email;
private Date regdate;
private long id;

/**
 * @return Email
*/
public String getEmail() {
return email;
}

/**
* @return First Name
*/
public String getFirstName() {
return firstName;
}

/**
* @return Last name
*/
public String getLastName() {
return lastName;
}

/**
* @param string Sets the Email
*/
public void setEmail(String string) {
email = string;
}

/**
* @param string Sets the First Name
*/
public void setFirstName(String string) {
firstName = string;
}

/**
* @param string sets the Last Name
*/
public void setLastName(String string) {
lastName = string;
}

/**
* @return ID Returns ID
*/
public long getId() {
return id;
}

/**
* @param l Sets the ID
*/
public void setId(long l) {
id = l;
}

public Date getRegdate() {

return regdate;
}
 public void setRegdate(Date regdate) {
this.regdate = regdate;
}

5) Create contact.hbm.xml for mapping

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-mapping PUBLIC "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Mapping DTD 3.0//EN"
"http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-mapping-3.0.dtd">

<hibernate-mapping>
<class name="net.tryHibernate.Contact" table="CONTACT">

<id name="id" type="long" column="ID" >

<generator class="assigned"/>
</id>

<property name="firstName">
<column name="FIRSTNAME" />
</property>
<property name="lastName">
<column name="LASTNAME"/>
</property>
<property name="email">
<column name="EMAIL"/>
</property>
<property name="regdate">
<column name="REGDATE"/>
</property>
</class>

</hibernate-mapping>

6) Create ContactExample class for using Hibernate

package net.tryHibernate;

import java.util.Date;

import org.hibernate.Session;
import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration;

/**
* @author Deepak Kumar
*
* http://www.roseindia.net
* Hibernate example to inset data into Contact table
*/

public class ContactExample {

 public static void main(String[] args) {
Session session = null;

try{
// This step will read hibernate.cfg.xml and prepare hibernate for use
SessionFactory sessionFactory = new
Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory();
session = sessionFactory.openSession();

// Create new instance of Contact and set values in it by reading them from form
object
System.out.println("Inserting Record");
Contact contact = new Contact();
contact.setId(3);
contact.setFirstName("Deepak");
contact.setLastName("Kumar");
contact.setEmail("deepak_38@yahoo.com");
contact.setRegdate(new Date());
session.save(contact);
}catch(Exception e){
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
} finally {
session.flush();
System.out.println("Done");
session.close();
}
}
}
